I tried GABA some time ago, and it didn't help at all. Furthermore, I got side effects (difficulties breathing).

Then, a couple of months ago, I bought some PharmaGABA. This time I got a feeling of relaxation, less muscle tension and an overall feeling of wellbeing. I continue to use it since then.

In short, try PharmaGABA.

Since GABA can't pass through the blood-brain barrier it shouldn't work. I've never tried it though to confirm that.

I can confirm that wine, beer, and whiskey (even the cheapest brands) work though.

It passes the blood-brain barrier inefficiently, but does so nonetheless. It would probably take at least a gram or so to feel any anxiolysis, but I don't have any experience with it either.

I used to think that too, but then I tried PharmaGABA which unlike synthetic GABA is obtained from the fermentation of glutamic acid. Try it if you don't trust me, you can get some for free at iherb.
